Chess =/= Random Acts of Violence

The absurd thought that a strategic video game could cause such a horror. How could one possibly assume that the actions one has commited, is based off of a game equivalent to chess. The Sandy Hook School Shooting was a terrible
tragedy that has no relevance to the PC game Starcraft II

Stracraft II is a game in which a a player selects his or her race they wish to control. Once a race is chosen, they battle online in a match to see who has strategy reigned superior.

Starcraft II can be compared to chess in many ways, chess and Starcraft are both mental games where you must be one step ahead of your opponent in order to complete a fashionable victory. Starcraft and chess all have a ton of different ways you can play the game, there isn't just that one way to play the game.

America is investing almost 10 million dollars to research and see if violent video games, and violence in real life actually co-exist. The USA will fund these research groups to obtain hopefully, a solidified answer, on whether or not it is in fact the video games that create violent acts such as the Sandy Hook Shooting.

In Korea, Starcraft II, along with other e-sports games, are basically a religion, and you don't really see any kind of shootings of violence linked with video games over there. I think the sandy hook shooting was nothing more than a heartless attack on the society, in my personal opinion, crippling the elders by taking away the future generation of the world much too early.
